Abstract

Purpose: To compare intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements in patients with keratoconus (KC), pellucid marginal degeneration (PMD), and unilateral penetrating keratoplasty (PK) for KC by Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT), Tono-Pen tonometry (TP), and Pascal dynamic contour tonometry (DCT).
